Good story 😂
When I was a student I was into buying hi-fi equipment, my mates used to say “what’s the point? You’ll only be playing Mudhoney on it”…
[Hitchcock]
Many years ago, when I used to ride the subway in New York a lot, this sign -from the future- would have confused me:
‘This wouldn’t have happened 20 years ago’: how women began dominating British dance music...
[Walker Evans]
Thanks MrGoodyear.
I wasn’t aware of the Evans quote.
I miss tape.
Who’s in the photo? I see Bowie and Eno obviously, and I’m guessing Visconti on the left, but who’s the other dude?
Fripp
Of course 😎
Self-care master post.
This is a list from an old Tumblr post and I'm sharing it here in case anyone needs anything on it or wants/needs to copy it and share it for someone they know. JG.

World class.
Some folks on Letterboxd were asking viz-a-viz The Zone of Interest why we should care to see anything from the Nazi point of view (as it were), but rather than grind out the 10,000 words I would have felt the need to send their way in the past I went and found this old Leonard Cohen poem instead...
I've not seen the Zone of Interest but from the snippets that are floating around it looks like an interesting film. The banality of evil, family life with the death camp next door.
And the parallels with what is happening right now are there for all to see. Going shopping, booking holidays, swiping through dating profiles, while a million people starve to death in the ghetto next door.
A pretty example of rationalized cause and effect:
Archduke Ferndinand is murdered, causing World War 1.
The Allies win WW1, imposing the Treaty of Versailles on Germany.
This causes tension between Germany and the rest of Europe, something Adolf Hitler takes advantage of and begins WW2.
Japan joins the axis in WW2 in order to expand their empire.
The Axis is defeated, and Japan comes under US occupation.
American soldiers bring comic books, cartoons, and other American mediums to Japan which stay behind even after the occupation is over.
Post-WW2 Japan imposes strict censorship laws that include the banning of most conventional porn.
Japanese citizens retaliate by drawing comics with women having sex with vaguely penis-shaped objects like tentacles to exploit loopholes in the law.
It establishes itself as a fetish even after the laws are relaxed, and so Hentai was born.
A great overview of a great song:

There's a meme in it somewhere...
😅
There’s room for all kind of OT (I hope) - many oldies, but never gets old…
Calling Thorne Smith. Is Thorne Smith in the building?
Definitely weird family, but I am pleasantly surprised by their trigger discipline.
Still weird, though.
Very good take here on Marley's Redemption Songs:

Cover of the day:
What makes you think human beings are sentient and aware? There's no evidence for it. Human beings never think for themselves, they find it too uncomfortable.
For the most part, members of our species simply repeat what they are told and become upset if they are exposed to any different view. The characteristic human trait is not awareness but conformity, and the characteristic result is religious warfare. Other animals fight for territory or food; but, uniquely in the animal kingdom, human beings fight for their 'beliefs.'
The reason is that beliefs guide behaviour which has evolutionary importance among human beings. But at a time when our behaviour may well lead us to extinction, I see no reason to assume we have any awareness at all.
We are stubborn, self-destructive conformists. Any other view of our species is just a self-congratulatory delusion.
~Michael Crichton
I believe this version of the Beach Boys classic was recorded in Canada in the 70s... and it's the sort of background atmosphere/sound that's hard to recapture, but I suspect if you listen to this after midnight some time you'll hear how heartbroken Brian Wilson was as well as mad. Something to aspire to (musically if not personally):

If you should ever leave me
Well, life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
Some Advice to Those Who Will Serve Time in Prison
Nâzim Hikmet
If instead of being hanged by the neck
you’re thrown inside
for not giving up hope
in the world, your country, and people,
if you do ten or fifteen years
apart from the time you have left,
you won’t say,
“Better I had swung from the end of a rope
like a flag”—
you’ll put your foot down and live.
It may not be a pleasure exactly,
but it’s your solemn duty
to live one more day
to spite the enemy.
Part of you may live alone inside,
like a stone at the bottom of a well.
But the other part
must be so caught up
in the flurry of the world
that you shiver there inside
when outside, at forty days’ distance, a leaf moves.
To wait for letters inside,
to sing sad songs,
or to lie awake all night staring at the ceiling
is sweet but dangerous.
Look at your face from shave to shave,
forget your age,
watch out for lice
and for spring nights,
and always remember
to eat every last piece of bread—
also, don’t forget to laugh heartily.
And who knows,
the woman you love may stop loving you.
Don’t say it’s no big thing:
it’s like the snapping of a green branch
to the man inside.
To think of roses and gardens inside is bad,
to think of seas and mountains is good.
Read and write without rest,
and I also advise weaving
and making mirrors.
I mean, it’s not that you can’t pass
ten or fifteen years inside
and more—
you can,
as long as the jewel
on the left side of your chest doesn’t lose its luster!
